Kitchen & Bath Business - July/August 2016 - 64

The lacquer
vanities in the secondary
bathrooms feature bright colors
with a seven-coat paint/polish
process. According to Serras,
the homeowners had a lot of
fun with those spaces, and
Kennedy said they were not
concerned with everything being aligned and predictable.
LEFT AND BELOW
As previously mentioned, one of the kitchen island
cabinet drawers opens in a non-traditional way,
which Serras said was a challenge because Scavolini's units are usually only available in standard
sizes with all doors facing in the same direction.
This particular line is semi-custom, which allowed
her the flexibility to meet her client's request.
Sustainable Solutions
Being energy efficient and recycling as many
materials as possible were important to the
homeowners, which was apparent in all areas
of the house.
Let There Be Light. The lighting system is by Lutron and guided by Gross Electric that Kennedy says
allows a "setting of the mood" in the home's public
spaces. "This option is a unique approach to reduce
the number of switches that need to be controlled,"
she added. "Just one push on a touch-screen pad sets
as many lights as you wish to a level pre-selected."
Cabinet Kudos. All of Scavolini's cabinet materials are made from low-formaldehyde panels, and
because the interiors of the cabinets are made from
post-consumer recycled content, no new trees are cut
down in their making.
Repurposed Wood. Site-milled cherry from the
building site was used as paneling for bookshelves and
office cabinets in the living area adjacent to the kitchen.
"The Western red cedar ceilings and wall paneling, as
well as the Douglas fir beams in the home, came from
the former house on the site, of which nearly 100 percent
of the finish lumber and beams were recycled into the
new home," explained Kennedy. The stair treads were
milled from a nearby elm tree that was felled in a storm.
Small-Site Geothermal Heating & Cooling.
Four 180-ft.-deep wells on the property provide all
of the forced air for the home. "Both an incredibly efficient building envelope and state-of-the-art mechanical systems create an extremely efficient home that uses
approximately 1⁄5 of the energy of a code-built home of
the same size with far less functionality," said Kennedy.
Green Roofs. A series of trays with drought-resistant plants sits on two roofs on top of the house. They
are used to cut down on solar absorption compared
to a typical black membrane roof.
Water Saving. PEX tubing is used instead of copper
lines for water delivery in the house. The red and blue
water lines run directly from a manifold to the fixture
itself. "Since all of these lines are 'home runs,' there are
no joints in the plumbing that could potentially leak,"
said Kennedy. "The manifold allows the user to turn off a
specific water line to do any work that may be needed."

There was another issue with the installation of the appliance wall. Serras
explained that instead of the oven and refrigerator being encased by drywall,
they are set back slightly into the wall and surrounded by a laminate veneer.
Scavolini's install team had to remove the veneer from the backerboard
and apply a super-thin laminate directly to the drywall onsite to achieve a
built-in look.
"In lieu of seeing painted drywall, you see a finished detail that frames the appliance wall,"added Serras.
She also noted that the choice of finishes in the kitchen and making sure
the space served all of the homeowners'desired functions was a strategic effort.
"Since much of the reclaimed wood in the house features the patina of age
on it, and since there is an open floor plan, the kitchen needed a certain weight
to it,"added Kennedy, who explained that at certain times, she and the architect
warned the homeowners about the wide variety of species in the home clashing
with each other. "The owner was confident about these details, however, and
in the end, we all agreed that they make the house softer and easier to take in."
Because the homeowners wanted a spacious place to cook and host social
events, there were multiple functions the kitchen needed to serve.The strategic,
functional cabinetry layout allows two people to use the kitchen at the same time,
while others can settle in at the island; or someone can be cooking,while the other
is setting the table or loading the dishwasher.
"This whole project was a team effort," said Serras. "We worked really
well together, and there were a lot of suggestions made and communication
throughout the whole process."
